Just wipe out the very notion of stress. Concentrate on your actors. Obsess about your story and the world it is anchored in. Deal with the hundreds of down-to-earth issues [around] the existence of your film. At some point, everything will be ripe. And you wouldn't be able to stop your film from coming to life even if you wanted to.” IfsWorldWayGivingStoriesWould BeAbleWantedEarthFilmActorsGivenDealsExistenceIssuesAdviceDirectorsFemaleDifficultyStressMalesNotionEndlessWipeRipeDown To Earth Author:Deniz Gamze Erguven

“However gross a man may be, the minute he expresses a strong and genuine affection, some inner secretion alters his features, animates his gestures, and colors his voice.

“Compassion, in its essence, is neutral. It’s holistic that way, and powerful because it yields a much wider perspective free of judgment or stress of any kind. We use it all the time in our work the way we’re always studying humanity intensely — always walking in someone else’s shoes, feeling the seams in their socks, wounds and elations in their souls.” SoulHumanityActorsActingCompassionStressCreative ProcessActorTac Shop Book:The Power of Amie Martine Source: The Power of Amie Martine
